The end of the Cold War witnessed a resurgence of separatist activity affecting nearly every part of the globe and stimulated a new generation of scholars to consider separatism and secession. As the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War approaches, this collection of essays allows us to view within a broader international context one of modern history's bloodiest conflicts over secession. The contributors to this volume consider a wide range of topics related to secession, separatism, and the nationalist passions that inflame such conflicts. The first section of the book examines ethical and moral dimensions of secession, while subsequent sections look at the American Civil War, conflicts in the Gulf of Mexico, European separatism, and conflicts in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. The contributors to this book have no common position advocating or opposing secession in principle or in any particular case. All understand it, however, as a common feature of the modern world and as a historic phenomenon of international scope. Some contributors propose that "political divorce," as secession has come to be called, ought to be subject to rational arbitration and ethical norms, instead of being decided by force. Along with these hopes for the future, Secession as an International Phenomenon offers a somber reminder of the cost the United States paid when reason failed and war was left to resolve the issue. 606 $aSeparatist movements$xHistory 606 $aSecession$xHistory 606 $aSecession$zSouthern States 606 $aNationalism$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics$y19th century 606 $aWorld politics$y20th century 606 $aWorld politics$y21st century 615 0$aSeparatist movements$xHistory. 615 0$aSecession$xHistory. 615 0$aSecession 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a341.26 701 $aDoyle$b Don Harrison$f1946-$0689159 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967541503321 996 $aSecession as an international phenomenon$94539296 997 $aUNINA
